if your state is based upon a fungible commodity's price, the quality of ruling goes to poo poo. difficult to find exceptions

"what do we do when the average daily temperature is literally too hot for human cells to survive" is also an open question i mean, there's an obvious answer, but presumably these governments being tied to specific geography are interested in less obvious ones

we're a ways away from wet bulb temperatures outside of already relatively uninhabitable/scarcely inhabitable areas however, i openly look forward to Detroit's resurgence as America's Constantinople

infernal machines posted:it's all very flexible because they have no idea what they're doing, what they can do, or if indeed they can do anything at all. and they need local voter approval to develop anything on the land to begin with, so they're off to a rough start Very common amongst the rich. A billionaire bought my now dead gay hospital system. His managers thought they could make an ICU that had been mothballed for 15+ years operational in a month. They had a lot of fun making everyone internal jump for this project until they met people that didn't work for them, like regulators. It never opened. He wanted to open an enfusion center. Bought lots of recliners and knocked down some walls, and then as a complete surprise they didn't know they needed ventilation systems to deal with the fumes the drugs made, and so all that work was for nothing and it all just sat there. It never opened. This was a guy who worked in hospitals and probably should have known you can't just snap your fingers and make stuff happen nor can you just build poo poo without talking to anyone about what's required. He reneged on all his promises, we were still bankrupt, my hospital closed a week before COVID, and he is now running the LA Times into the ground.  Having money and employees makes people think they can just do whatever they want when they want, since for most things any crazy whim they come up with they will most likely get. They don't have to think ahead, because any obstacle can just be bought off.

skooma512 posted:Very common amongst the rich. i work for a guy who was a higher level exec at a fairly large ad firm who decided to strike out on his own, start up style. it's been a hilarious process because he's never had to consider how things get done, or by whom. they just happen. except of course when your company is you and one other person who also worked maybe a level below you before and you're suddenly having to, like, plan things and develop processes and best practices, and direct people on what to do and how to do it because that institutional knowledge and the workforce to implement it doesn't just spring forth fully formed from the aether. also, shockingly, all of these things cost money. so you don't get to be the playboy exec salsesman making all the major deals, because you have an entire loving company to run and there's no one else to run it, and poo poo won't wait until you've finished your morning 18 holes and three hour lunch.

Lady Radia posted:we're a ways away from wet bulb temperatures outside of already relatively uninhabitable/scarcely inhabitable areas everywhere has a wet bulb temperature all the time. it's just the coldest evaporative cooling can make something at that spot. i'm guessing you are one of the trillion people who read that one article a couple of years back that used the term incorrectly, obliterating any chance to teach a pretty straightforward, well-defined technical term to a lay audience. infernal machines posted:afaik places in saudi arabia, yemen, and oman are hitting 50°C+ with increasing frequency dry bulb temperature doesn't tell the whole survivability story. humans can tolerate crazy heat if the air is dry enough and we're hydrated enough.

that's not incorrect. denver has gone from 86f summers to 97f summers in the 7 years i've lived here, but the humidity is still 13% so we can take advantage of swamp coolers and putting a wet towel on our neck. i pity the motherfuckers stuck down in arkansas tho

arse technical has a pretty good article about this up today: https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/09/yes-this-year-is-as-hot-as-you-think-it-is/ i probably don't need to point this out for most of you but yeah it's not just you, the past couple of years have really been extremely hot and it's just getting worse  they also point out that someone alive today under the age of 31 hasn't ever experienced below "normal" (i.e. average from 1950-80) temperatures

even when i was a kid in milwaukee in 1989 everybody was crying about how the heat was oppressive and weird and well its just a 100 year heat wave. we are like 1.5, maybe 2 generations into climate change denial. We're all loving doomed and i love all of my yosposters that decided to have kids, but i derive no pleasure from stating confidently that your children are going to sweat to death. 2060 is going to be so loving hosed up its inconceivable by our brains
